Emigration. --Nine thousand Norwegian emigrants have passed through Chicago since the first of May, for distant homes in Wisconsin; Minnesota and Iowa.
ers who may be guilty of treason or cowardice in surrendering a larger and superior force of United States soldiers to Texan troops, so that those who are innocent may be relieved from blame, &c. The Military Committee were instructed to report what change, if any, is necessary, to be made in the mode of payment of soldiers held as prisoners of war. Scouting on the Potomac--Gen. Rosencranz--the News by the city of Baltimore. From the New York Herald's "Situation" article, of the 5th inst., we take the following items: For several days past scouting parties from the divisions of Generals Porter, Smith, and Hancock have been searching the country on the Virginia side of the Potomac, in the direction of Vienna and Hunter's Mills, without finding any force of the enemy in that region. General Rosencranz and his staff arrived at Wheeling yesterday to take up their winter quarters. The General has been offered his choice of several rebel residences for his winter ho
ent for the Senate. They were all taken to Eminence, and our informant left before he heard what disposition was made of them. Numbers of Southern men, to avoid arrest and taking the oath, were endeavoring to escape to our lines. John B. Cochran, the Representative from Shelby, was particularly active and officious, and publicly avows himself in favor of arresting all Secessionists, and of shooting them down wherever found. Catastrophe at Paducah. From the Memphis Appeal, of the 5th inst., we take the following paragraph: The mammoth wharf-boat at Paducah, belonging to D. G. Fowler & Co., which had been seized by the Lincolnites, and used as a depot for commissary stores, sunk at the landing a few days since with about 800 tone of sugar, coffee, flour, and provisions generally. The Lincolnites charge that it was scuttled by the "Seceshers." They should keep a better watch in future, as we understand there are a few more left in Paducah only waiting for a similar o
for by a Government officer and properly reprimanded. That the Message and reports were examined and properly discussed, and is the practice in such cases, is true; some were perhaps modified; but that the best of good feeling prevailed between the President and different members of the Cabinet, and that such feeling exists, now, is a positive and well known fact. What the New York Herald says of old Abe's Message. From the following editorial remarks of the New York Herald, of the 5th inst., we should not be surprised if Bennett's animosity towards the abolitionists of the North did not yet induce him to hoist the banner of peace, as the most effectual method by which to break down that party: The President's Message, on the slavery question, will reassure the country, and give new heart and renewed hope to the loyal men of the South, awaiting their deliverance.--Our disorganizing abolitionists are taken aback, and will soon begin to show their teeth, no doubt; but a
soldiers in the United States army. They claim that they were misled by bad and designing men, and that if they could regain their former footing they would pursue a different course. Another flag of Truck. The Confederate News, of the 5th inst., says: About three o'clock P. M. yesterday, a Federal steamer came in sight above town with the white flag afloat. As usual, curiosity was on tiptoe. Multitudes crowded the wharf, the eminences, and even the housetops. The Yazoo, haut 150 good fellows who had been made prisoners at Camp Jackson, who by the unremitting exertions of Gen. Frost have at last been enabled to set their foot on Dixie's Land. From East Tennessee. The Columbus (Ky.) Confederate News, of the 5th inst, says: As we expected, the information last night fails utterly of any confirmation of the report of an outbreak of Unionists in East Tennessee. The reported attack at Morristown was a canard. Everything in that region is quiet; insurr
The Daily Dispatch: December 16, 1861., [Electronic resource], Ex-Governor Stewart knocked down and his hands tied behind him. (search)
Exchange of prisoners. The report that the Hon. Charles J. Faulkner had been released from his imprisonment at Fort Warren, on parole, preparatory to his exchange for Congressman Ely, is confirmed. A Washington telegram of the 5th instant, says that Mr. F. "will proceed immediately South, and procure a similar release of Mr. Ely. If not successful in that errand, he has pledged himself to return to custody in thirty days." We also learn that the gallant Captain DeLagnel has been exchanged for the Federal Captain Ricketts, who was wounded in the battle of Manassas and taken prisoner.
Personal. --The Nasvvill (Tenn.) Republican and Banner, of the 5th inst., announces the permanent connexion of Mr. Henry Watterson with the editorial department of that paper. Mr. W. has already gained an enviable reputation as a political writer. He has also been quite favorably known as a magazinist and critic. As one of the editors of the States, of Washington, D. C., he was the author of the able Southern articles which esused the suppression of that paper by the Lincoln despotism.
rear. However this may be, one thing is certain, and that is, that should this be their programme, they will find it a hard road to travel before they get to the end of it. Gen. Leslin Comes. There is no spectacle more sickening than that of a man once honored and respected and loved, turned, by his own treason, into an object of just scorn and hatred. Such a spectacle is exhibited in the person of Leslie Combs. We copy the following extract from the Nashville Republican, of the 5th inst.: He was the friend of Clay, and the idol of a large, enthusiastic and gallant people. He combined an apparent frankness and courage with a pleasing and popular address, which never failed to draw forth the deepest feelings of sympathy and affection. Suddenly he shattered all the confidence and scattered all the friendship, which he had so long commanded. This revolution has seemed to change his whole nature. He has lied over and over again, out of whole cloth; he has duped and

Quinine, medicine, sweetmeats, liquors, (Mayerca and Seach,) cigars, &c. New Orleans merchants before a French Tribunal. We copy the following from the Chicago Tribune, of December 30: A case arising out of the civil war in America, came up on the 5th inst before the Paris Tribunal of Commerce. Messrs. Rimalho & Neyrey, merchants of New Orleans, accepted a bill for four hundred and eighty-three dollars, payable on the 10th of last October, to Messrs. Ottenheimer & Co., of New York. Before the bill fell dust, the Confederate Congress adopted the law prohibiting commercial relations between the North and South, and, consequently, no money was remitted by Rimalho & Neyrey to pay the bill, which was dishonored. But Ottenheimer & Co., having
